Iconic Rides

In the mind of every cycling fan there is “The List” — the historic climbs where the legends of men like Coppi, Merckx, Hinault, Indurain and Armstrong have been forged. Cols, passi, puertas… call them what you will. The language of mountain riding is universal. Chevrons. Switchbacks. Hors Categorie.

With our Iconic Rides, Cervélo Pro Travel Experience sets the stage for you to pedal to the heights of professional biking history. In a given year the Tour won’t hit all the Alpine classics, but our Iconic Rides will. Imagine a 2000m col a day: the Madeleine, then the Croix de Fer, the Galibier, and as a wind-down, Alpe d’Huez.

Or a week besting the best of the Pyrenees: the Pla de Beret, Aubisque, Peyresourde, and the fearsome Tourmalet. Iconic Rides are a chance not only to earn bragging rights with your Sunday-ride pack, but also to gain a personal perspective that will change the way you watch future races. You want to truly appreciate the sheer will and ability of pro cycling’s greatest athletes? Cycle a 1000m in their shoes.
